Was he a Standard, or a Miniature? (I find it too unlikely that he would have been a Toy). DS ( talk) 12:54, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

A few first impression comments before I get into the prose a bit deeper:
Image: That is the only image I am aware of for the subject. It could possibly be cropped to show just the dog but I think it is valuable to have the whole scene. I have moved it to the main article body so that it can be displayed a little larger.
1st section: I included that section so I could explain the nature of the sources available. It is possibly verging on editorialising but I thought it should be mentioned that because there are no contemporary sources (all are at least 20 years after the events) there could be some elaboration and fictionalisation. I do not think it POV to state that I am using two main sources. I chose the two main ones as they were the most coherent, I have noted where other sources disagree. I should note that I don't have access to the sources listed in the second note (they came from another source).
If there is anything you would like me to do please let me know. I am not available for the next week but should be able to make any changes next weekend. Many thanks - Dumelow ( talk) 08:42, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello! I've gone looking for some of the Historical Sources in this article, and the source from the Kaleidoscope is prefaced with "Arma Canemque Cano"--this does not appear to be an author name but rather a Latin phrase, perhaps "I sing of arms and a dog", probably a pun on "Arma virimque cano" or "I sing of arms and a man" from Virgil's Aeneid... This is my first Wikipedia comment, please be kind! Animwriter ( talk) 04:09, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
